Play by play
- 90'
Not the highest quality encounter, then, but not short of excitement and incident. A deserved point for Liverpool, who left it late to salvage one, and it moves them into tenth place in the Premier League.

<B>FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 2-2 ARSENAL</B>
- 90'
Now Arsenal come forward. Cazorla shoots and it's beaten away by Jones. Liverpool scramble the rebound cross away. Last-gasp Arsenal corner...
- 90'
Can either side find a winner? It has to be said that Liverpool, on the balance of play, would not have deserved to lose this one.
- 90'
It's a great header from Skrtel, who bullets it into the corner.

- 90'
And another Liverpool corner. Still about four minutes remaining.
- 90'
Gerrard shoots, Sczcesny savs, and Lallana picks up the pieces to win a corner, which is promptly wasted. The corners from both sides today have been poor.
- 90'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Nacho Monreal on for Alexis Sanchez, who has had a very quiet day by his own high standards.
- 90'
Cazorla's shirt is ripped where borini's high challenge caught him. Meanwhile, an Arsenal change...

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> A second yellow and a red for Borini. His cameo didn't last long.
- 90'
Lambert hangs up a cross as the ball is played back to him, and it's acrobatically cleared. Borini makes another bad challenge -- late and high on Cazorla. I think he's going to get a red card here...
- 90'
Sterling tries his luck from an angle. Saved. Corner...
- 90'
And indeed it is -- there will be NINE additional minutes.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Joel Campbell replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as we go into what looks likely to be plenty of added time.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> And a yellow card.
- 89'
Borini is angry as he crunches in on Cazorla and is penalised. There's a show of dissent...
- 88'
... and another Arsenal header clear.
- 87'
Borini again, from Gerrard's pass, forces a save from a tight angle. Another Liverpool corner...
- 86'
Oxlade-Chamberlain loses he ball again. He might be struggling with a muscle problem. Liverpool come forward, and Borini's header is tipped over by Sczcesny.
- 86'
Oxlade-Chamberlain miscontrols. There has been a lot of that, from both sides, today.
- 85'
Coutinho fouls Coquelin, and the Liverpool man doesn't like the Gunners player's reaction. Free-kick Arsenal is the decision, though.
- 84'
...he brings it down and Coutinho takes over but can only lash the ball into the side-netting from a tight angle.
- 83'
Lallana is lurking on the left, and that's where the ball goes...
